DCMom - Is your kid has been on zoloft 12 mg for a while and having symptoms, I would up it to 25 mg. It is still a low dose. Or go to 25 mg on day 1 and 12 mg on day 2, etc. which increases more slowly. The half life of SRRIs is long so kiddo should not notice the up and down. Also, I have a detailed log I keep of flare up behaviors. I chart these so that I can track if this change is helping or making things worse. I would give the new dose about a month to settle down unless things are dramatically worse then I would drop back. If things are severe, I also up the dose of augmenton ES (I find the kind of augmenton also makes a difference for my dd and she does best with the ES). The clonidine is also a possibility. It has a patch form that can be cut into lower does. Worked great until dd developed an allergic reaction to the adhesive. Sorry to hear that the anxiety is rising.

I don't have time to post a proper reply but I am making a new post & promise I'll get back to this later. I just got out of the ER for Serotonin Syndrome. Go figure.
